Steve Jobs
Walter Isaacson
Hardcover: 656 pages
Publisher: Simon & Schuster (October 24, 2011)
From personal computers to animation, music, cell phones, and digital publishing, Steve Jobs changed the face of the world. Walter Isaacson’s new release contains more than forty interviews with Jobs, and more than a hundred interviews with friends and family, co-workers and competitors. Jobs allowed Isaacson to paint an uncensored portrait of him, and encouraged everyone involved to speak openly about his personality – from his perfectionism and drive, to his personal “demons” and “control”-obsessed behavior. Isaacson’s book reveals a consummate creative genius whose impact will remain with us, long after his death – but also, in this candid depiction of Job’s manic and furious drive, readers will also receive (as one reviewer has written), “a cautionary tale.” http://amzn.to/upswbf

Re-Claiming the Bible for a Non-Religious World
John Shelby Spong
Hardcover: 432 pages
Publisher: HarperOne (November 8, 2011)
Bishop John Shelby Spong, best-selling author of Eternal Life: A New Vision, returns with a thought-provoking and passionate study on the current research and debates about the authenticity of the Bible — and how to discover a more meaningful relationship with God in spite of it all. Rather than holding to a literal view of the Bible that scholarly research has continued to overturn for the last two hundred years, Spong encourages readers to find the deeper, symbolic significance rooted in the Bible, and to press deeper into their spirituality and knowledge of God as they do so. http://amzn.to/ujvEqa
